A pause button would be nice. Also, parts of Australia light up with activity on the map, but strangely it isn't listed on the dashboard.

Is it just me, or is it ironic that this site is currently unavailable?

It's just you. What does visualizing tweets have to do with high availability?

I believe the regions are defined as the blocks that become visible when you hover over the content title. The Asia one doesn't include Australia.

How are they getting the data? Twitter's APIs seem so limited these days.
